That night, Ye Chen made an effort to blend into his new family. Wrapped in a thick blanket, he curled up in the corner of his bed, not wanting to engage with anyone.
He turned over, hoping to enjoy the romantic silence that belonged solely to him.
However, in stark contrast to his silence, the others in the room were passionately discussing various topics.
Most of the men were like this, their conversations revolving around nothing but alcohol and women. Of course, in this fantastical era, the group of men discussed Kun Ze and Zhong Yong even more.
When it came to alcohol, the most animated was the burly Wang Li. His imposing figure clearly marked him as a rugged Tian Qian. After spending some time in the Military Camp, Ye Chen had begun to develop the ability to distinguish between Tian Qian and Zhong Yong.
Those with robust physiques and distinctly muscular builds, exuding a strong presence, were Tian Qian. This aura would create a Xin Xiang impact on Kun Ze; this was Ye Chen's own perception.
Ye Chen found it hard to imagine how such a rough man could come to the Medical Camp as an apprentice. Yet when it came to alcohol, Wang Li spoke with authority. He not only knew various types of liquor but could also categorize them meticulously, explaining which drinks Submissive ld be served in which glasses.
He even mentioned wine, claiming it was currently the favorite vintage among the high-ranking officials and nobility.
Although the men all loved alcohol, they were still in the Military Camp, where there were many rules about drinking. Thus, this topic quickly lost its appeal, and their enthusiasm waned. However, discussions about Kun Ze and women grew increasingly fervent, with voices rising and falling.
"I bet you all have been to Pavilion of Floral Pursuit during your days off."
That name sounded familiar. Ye Chen's drowsy mind instantly became alert; he quietly opened his eyes and listened intently from his corner.
That's right; it was the brothel where those thugs had planned to sell him yesterday down by the mountain. Ye Chen felt a wave of relief wash over him; if he had truly been sold, meeting his brothers from the Military Camp afterward would have been incredibly awkward—an absolute social death. He instinctively touched his forehead as if there were cold sweat there.
X trading was still legal during the Qing Dynasty, but it was banned after the establishment of the New Nation. One must admit that this was an extremely wise decision. It is a great tragedy for a country to rely on taxes generated from women selling their bodies to sustain itself.
Unfortunately, he was in no position to speak up for himself, like a clay Buddha crossing a river, trapped in this Military Camp with many concerns, unable to say anything. Otherwise, he would have wanted to argue that these Kun Ze and Zhong Yong were not willingly in such positions; if anyone had the ability to survive independently, who would choose to become someone else's plaything?
Ye Chen silently closed his eyes, not wanting to hear any more of these filthy words. Just as he pulled the blanket over his head, trying to block out the sounds from outside, another voice suddenly emerged.
"I dare say that Doctor Pei must have been to Pavilion of Floral Pursuit; don’t you all believe it?"
Hmm? Who are they talking about?
Ye Chen's drowsy mind instantly became fully alert; gossip was always the best remedy to wake him up.
For a moment, everyone in the tent was stunned, except for Ye Chen, who was now wide awake, his eyes opened wide with curiosity.
"What the hell, Liu Ben, what are you talking about? A person as graceful and noble as Doctor Pei would never go to Pavilion of Floral Pursuit! He came from the capital; how many stunning beauties can there be in a Border Town like ours? The women at Pavilion of Floral Pursuit are all gathered from various places just to make up numbers; they can barely be considered presentable. Doctor Pei wouldn’t even glance at them."
"Is it that he looks down on them or that he simply wouldn’t go?" Another voice questioned.
"Yeah, this Doctor Pei… I just can’t see him as that kind of person."
"That kind of person?" The speaker's tone dripped with malice, their lewd manner making one feel nauseous.
"You little brat, still laughing? You don’t understand matters between men. That Kun Ze is Tian Qian’s gifted match; even if you don’t like him at first, if Xin Xiang’s compatibility is high enough, you can end up in bed together without love." The previous man's voice gradually became frivolous and wanton. Ye Chen listened with disgust, his dark eyes nearly filled with rage.
This means that if he encounters someone with a high compatibility like Xin Xiang in the future, he might lose his rationality and become someone who only knows how to indulge in physical desires?
Ye Chen shivered, instinctively pulling the blanket tighter around himself, as if that would provide him with a bit more security.
He absolutely could not reveal his secret about Kun Ze in the Military Camp; otherwise, the consequences awaiting him... Ye Chen dared not think further and quickly closed his eyes, forcing himself to stop contemplating these terrifying thoughts.
